Vik Muniz — digital c-print
Vik Muniz

digital c-print

Using finely arranged pigment powder, Vik Muniz meticulously recreates Picasso's *Woman with Fan* in a striking reinterpretation that blurs the line between painting and photography. The work is then captured as a digital C-print, transforming the tactile, granular material into a seamless photographic image. This piece exemplifies Muniz's signature practice of constructing iconic artworks from unconventional substances, challenging perceptions of originality, reproduction, and the nature of artistic media.
